Need a dedicated GPU for an office box

[escrow4]

Need a card recommendation for an office box. Usage is porn and Chrome. Nothing more. Match to a 5930K that I am re-purposing as I'm not gaming on it anymore. These are the (only) choices:

GT 710 2GB DDR3 64-bit - $63

GT 730 2GB DDR3 128-bit - $89

R5 230 2GB DDR3 64-bit - $69

R7 240 2GB DDR3 128-bit - $79

R7 360 2GB DDR5 128-bit - $129

I am looking for cheap and the 360 seems to fit the bill. Don't want to pay much as the sole usage is titties and a bit of Office. But mostly titties. Might be some HEVC playback in the future but that 5930K will swallow that so . . .

Opinions?

Better resolution support on the XFX version and it's cheaper at $104.

I don't understand why people buy $100 graphics card to just watch some videos and do some office work. Just use the integrated graphics or buy a cheap $30 card like gt610 or gt710.

No integrated GPU on a 5930k, but any basic video card card should do.

What monitor are you plugging into it?

Because video acceleration for 4k porn duh

Don't forget that VR porn will be coming soon, you don't want to be underpowered for that.

You win the thread.

I can think of a few problems with that... Namely... How can you make sure that the money shot doesn't end up all over the place...

Just a thought.

How does that work? You put peanut butter on your balls, put the headset on, and then call the dog over?

If you have a Frys nearby get on their mailing list for the discounts:

This week they have a 750 ti on sale for $90 AR for those on the list. What is great about a 750 ti is it could take a 4K monitor one day.

EDIT: Have decided on a Strix GTX 950. HEVC decoding is nice to have for future titty support. Indeed. :wub:

That means GTX 950 or bust.

Indeed. After I insert it firmly into that PCI slot. ()

And as a bonus I should be able to play Doom 4 on medium.

Well, you could sell the 5930k and motherboard, and buy an i3 or FM2 apu and motherboard, and probably come out with cash in hand. A skylake or modern AMD igp should be more than sufficient, run cool, and use a lot less power than a hex core and dgpu.

Just ordered a R7 360 gigabyte OC for work PC to drive 4k...Will be fun to check out the radeon crimson software...

Not anymore. I won't personally use any system less than an i5 anymore. The sluggishness isn't worth it. And the i3 is a useless halfway chip. A 5930K will slaughter anything Internet browsing related. Still debating getting a GT 710 instead. Prices here are substantially more than the US and near $200 more for a 950, hmmmmm.
